Connect to Feed calls for December donations

Connect to Feed is making one final push on December 3, to hopefully ensure that children and families don’t go hungry this Christmas.

The NPO, which hosts monthly drives, where they donate to the needy plans to have the last drive of the year at Ivory Park, Midrand.
Co-founder, Swati Bhagat said in the spirit of giving, Connect to Feed, a local nonprofit organisation is dedicated to alleviating hunger and supporting underprivileged communities.

She said they were excited to announce their Christmas Drive initiative in Ivory Park.
“This heartfelt campaign aims to bring joy and warmth to the hearts of children and families in need during the festive season. Connect to Feed invites the entire community and beyond to participate in this noble cause. We are calling on individuals, families, and businesses to come together and make a difference,” said Bhagat.

She urged people to get involved and join them for a good cause. She said they were looking at financial donations which will enable them to purchase essential items and spread holiday cheer.

Other needed items for the drive are food packets such as non-perishable food items (canned goods, rice, and pasta). to help provide meals for those less fortunate.

“We would also like to have clothing and toys donations. The clothes need to be gently used clothing that is still in good condition and will be distributed to those in need.
We are looking at new or gently used toys that will bring smiles to the faces of children who deserve a brighter Christmas,” added Bhagat.

She said participation and support in this Christmas Drive will significantly impact the lives of those less fortunate.
